2-Chloro-6-fluorophenyl 4-chlorobenzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C 13 H 7 Cl 2 FO 2 , the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 49.96 (12) and the fluorine atom is syn to the C O group. In the crystal, the molecules are linked into [010] chains by C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds and weak C-HÁ Á ÁCl interactions link these chains into sheets parallel to the (101) plane.

“…The vast significance of such esters has enhanced the interest in exploring their structure-activity relationships and to search for esters as biological lead compounds. With these observations in mind, and as a part of our ongoing research on such molecules (Mohammed et al, 2016), we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title ester derivative.The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1.…”
